The Museum of Art and Archaeology, 106 Pickard Hall on the MU campus, presents “Ran In-Ting’s Watercolors: East and West Mix in Images of Rural Taiwan.” This exhibition focuses on painter Ran In-Ting, one of Taiwan’s most-famous artists. Ran developed a unique style that emphasized the changes in fluidity of ink and watercolor by mastering both wet- and dry-brush techniques. The paintings touch “on the natural beauty of rural life and vivacity of the suburban scene,” the museum said. The exhibit runs through Aug. 14. Other exhibits include:

“CIA: Counterfeits, Imitations and Alterations of Ancient Coins” through July 31. This exhibition focuses on aspects of ancient coinage rarely considered in a museum setting. The section on counterfeits investigates coins designed to cheat, either the ancient consumer or the modern collector. Visit maa.missouri.edu for more information.

The State Historical Society of Missouri, 1020 Lowry St., hosts “The Graphic World of George Bingham” in its Main Gallery. See popular prints as well as unique, infrequently exhibited works and documents, including original steel engraving plates and a proof of the lithograph “Verdict of the People.” Visit shs.umsystem.edu for more information.

The George Caleb Bingham Gallery, A125 Fine Arts Building on the University of Missouri campus, presents “The Larry Show” through Aug. 25. Curated by J. Sloane Snure Paullus, the exhibition features more than 120 artworks consisting solely of representations of Larry Bauer, Columbia resident and frequent figure model. Works run the gamut from classroom assignments by beginning artists to professional explorations of portraiture. The diversity of the exhibition serves as a critique of the commonly held belief that a portrait can somehow capture the essence of its sitter. Summer gallery hours are 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday. Visit binghamgallery.missouri.edu for more information.

Call for artists: Many bands are turning to fan-funding to finance their musical projects. Boonville two-piece rock band Clatter decided it would be fun to encourage people to get creative and donate a piece of artwork along the theme of “Garden of Whatever,” the title of the band’s upcoming CD release. These creations — from all ages and skill levels and in any medium — will be on display online and in the Boonville art gallery Zuzak Wonder Store for the month of June, where people can place bids in person or by proxy. Money raised will help cover manufacturing costs, and additional money raised will be donated to a local art and/or music charity. Submissions will be accepted through Tuesday. The art auction will culminate in Clatter’s Garden (of Whatever) Party at 7 p.m. July 9 at Thespian Hall. Email info@clatter.com or call (660) 838-6529 for more information.
